Yeah, the reason I don’t like it is that it renders actual qualifying much less important, which makes me a bit sad, because I really enjoy the current qualifying format. I think that qualifying and racing should be two separate things, as they have always been. They are two different skill sets. Some cars might otherwise start higher or lower on the grid than they probably should because of qualifying. The sprint race negates a lot of that. If they did say FP1 and a sprint race on Friday, FP2 and regular qualifying on Saturday, and the normal race on Sunday, I could deal with it, though I still prefer the weekend format as is. I just really don’t want the sprint race tied to any kind of qualifying order. Like you said, a lot of the questions we would traditionally have pre-race might now be gone. Teams pretty much know that a 2 stop is likely necessary already. Even with the free tire choice, I think it will remove tire parity, because teams don’t have to worry about what they use in Q2 whatsoever anymore.

Well, that was dumb.

Don’t forget, ICE could stick around longer with synthetic fuels. I don’t think it’s the final answer, though.

Yeah, it never makes any damn sense. I suppose it helps that they have zero context behind the shots. Sometimes you “win” by getting an incredibly easy shot that you didn’t have to work for, and people like it. Sometimes you “lose” by working your ass off for one, and no one gives a fuck. It’s weird. I really like the Mom’s shot.

That one uses several shots for the sky at I think 30 seconds each (I think like 6-8, I forget since it has been several years), which are then stacked on top of each other to reduce the noise in the image and make it look as best as possible. Then that the foreground is a separate shorter exposure that I don’t remember the exposure time for, but probably also 15-30 seconds. So, it’s a composite image, but the camera didn’t move for any of the shots and the view is the same for all of them, it’s just taking several of them and stacking them together. There is not any artificial light on the Watchman or anything, it’s just a longer exposure.

What device were you using? Some are only playing 1440p (even though the channel is still the 4K channel) since they can’t display the VP9 codec at 4k60. The fox sports app had it in true HDR apparently, which makes an even bigger difference, but I missed that.

Few more Walter’s Wiggles Great White Throne from Observation Point (I think) Canyon Overlook is the upper right of the ridge in this photo. Great sunrise hike. Not a great sunset hike. Checkerboard Mesa (you can hike on the west side of this up to a saddle that continues into a canyon erring route; hiking up to the saddle is nice) This is from the Kolob Canyons area Off of SR-9 in the eastern part of the park Canyon Overlook trail Scout Lookout at the base of the climb up Angel’s Landing Looking into the start of the narrows The trail to observation point and hidden canyon (this is the trail that’s still closed due to rockfall) Watchman at sunset

Tbh, Zion is a mess right now. It’s overflowing with people and they just had a flash flood a week or so ago. Getting into the main canyon is a cluster because you have to obtain a ticket for the shuttle and they can be kind of hard to get. The main canyon access trail to hidden canyon and observation point trail is still closed, but as someone else mentioned, you can still access observation point from a longer hike starting just inside the east entrance. You can park anywhere on the eastern part of SR9 and pretty much go explore any of those side canyons. Or, you can go west on SR9 (out the south entrance) and north on I-15 and visit the Kolob Canyons section. There’s several hikes in that area and it is incredibly less crowded. It’s a bit of a different look, since you’re outside the main canyon, but it’s still great. Here’s a few general photos. Angel’s Landing Hidden Canyon (still closed, which sucks because this hike is great) Narrows Virgin River near end of the Riverside Walk trail (which leads to the narrows) The Watchman The Subway. Permit is required. I took one photo with the nice camera because there was so much goddamn water when I did this hike in April. So, pro tip, do not do this hike in spring when the runoff makes it insane.

Absolutely.

Made for a very short time in 1951 between the names Broadcaster and Telecaster (while the lawsuit with Gretch was ongoing). They basically just had no model name. Broadcasters are extremely rare too, of course.

The ASG does look nice in 4K. Gimme dat 5.1!

Taking the Extreme Contact name literally!

I might get back into it when that comes out, though I’d be on console.

I need to find a cool spot near FW to spot it this time.

My 6x7 files are 5902x4815 on a Noritsu scan, which looks like is the same res The Darkroom provides. They do not provide tiffs, only jpeg (believe Darkroom is the same). They received my order on a Tuesday, and it entered production on Wednesday (I assume) and I had the scans on the following Wednesday. They say their minimum turnaround on Noritsu scanned orders is 4 business days. I was shooting E-6 this time which may have added a day or two to that time. I received them in a download link sent to my email, though I did have to search to find it the first time in GMail and then move it to my Primary folder, so it’s good now.

FWIW, I tried Richard Photo Lab last time and they were awesome. Doesn’t really cost much more than Darkroom (at least for 120; didn’t compare 135). Their customer service was incredible, too. They also included a report that describes any issues they saw. There’s a main page plus 14 pages describing various issues. This is a screenshot of the first page. My film didn’t have issues, but it’s cool that they include this.

What a beauty.

Sounds like Australia is about to be canceled soon.

It’s always helpful to turn on stats for nerds too, to see what it’s actually doing.

Hell, it all started with the penalty lewis got for the same thing when Albon tried to pass there last year. IMO that one was harsh too, but they called these the same. The Norris one was really nothing, though. Perez I agree with if they are calling it that way.

Lol, gonna end up like the F3 race yesterday.

Yep.

Hell yeah, Lando! Russell too.
